Chapter 1 Introduction The Powerware Environmental Rack Monitor (ERM) is designed to remotely monitor the temperature, humidity, and status of two contact devices via a standard Web browser, providing greater management control and flexible monitoring. To install the ERM on a network and change its default configuration, you need a workstation running Microsoft Windows (9x, Me, NT4.0, 2000, XP or later). If your network dynamically configures IP address, all you need is a workstation with a Web browser. The ERM s unique benefits include the following: S Hot-swappable TH-Module, simplifying installation by allowing you to install the TH-Module safely without powering down the ERM. S Monitoring of temperature and humidity information for any desired environment to protect your critical equipment. S Monitoring the status of two user-provided contact devices to protect your critical equipment. S Configuration from HTTP Web browser or SNMP management software. S E-mail notification through SMTP (simple mail transport protocol) via e-mail client software, a PCS (personal communication services) phone, or alphanumeric pager when acceptable alarm limits are exceeded or contact status changes. S History log files (data and events) for recording temperature and humidity problems. Changes in contact closure status are logged in the ERM s Event History Log. For more detailed information that is not included in this manual, first register your product at warranty.powerware.com, then visit our Web site: www.powerware.com/rackmonitor. You can also download firmware upgrades, the latest manuals, and other documentation. EATON Powerware Environmental Rack Monitor (ERM) User s Guide S 164201673 Rev 1 1

Chapter 6 Managing ERM via SNMP If you intend to manage your ERM/TH-Module via SNMP Network Management Station (NMS), you may want to customize some of the SNMP settings (such as System Name, System Contact, and System Location). NOTE Before using the ERM in an SNMP environment, the IP address, Gateway address, and other group parameters must be configured properly. See Configuration on page 5 for details. SNMP Access Control Setting The ERM supports SNMP protocol. You can use SNMP NMS to manage the TH-Module through the network. NOTE The IP address of the PC must be entered in the ERM Access Control Table to prevent unauthorized users from configuring the ERM via HTTP or SNMP protocols. NOTE If you do not add the IP address of the workstation to the Access Control Table (via RS-232 or Telnet) or the SNMP/HTTP Access Control (via Web Browser) in the ERM, you can only view the in TH-Module status; it will not be able to perform any configuration on the ERM/TH-Module. SNMP Trap Receivers Setting Setup SNMP Manager Software See Trap Receivers on page 32 for details. 1. Add the ERM MIB file (included on the ERM CD) to the MIB database of the SNMP manager. 2. Search for the ERM in the network. 3. To access the ERM SNMP agent, use public for the GET community string and the read/write password (default is admin) for the SET community string. GET Community string: public SET Community string: admin For more information, see the MIB file on the ERM CD. EATON Powerware Environmental Rack Monitor (ERM) User s Guide S 164201673 Rev 1 41
